Evening all Well, best sporting news in ages. For the first time in 30 years Wales have managed the "Grand Slam" - winning every match in the 6 Nations rugby championship (final match, we beat Ireland 32-20). Guessing Cardiff will be pretty lively tonight, though interestingly rugby crowds aren't anything like as destructive as football ones, main role of the police will be to point lost people towards the station, stadium, etc! Ken, I like that loco paint scheme - reminds me a little of the PB&NE SW7 and gondolas I have (Athearn SE set from a few years back). Looks good! Steve, haven't Hornby now brought out that loco with a new loco-drive chassis? Thought the Duchess was one of the ones that had been upgraded. I do know the old loco would be simple to convert to loco drive - the frame and bodyshell have a space for the old Triang motor if I remember rightly. It might also be possible to swap one of the new 5-pole armatures into the tender - these are great in their latest "47s", very quiet and smooth. Well, waiting for a TV adaptation of the Robert Harris novel "Archangel" which is running as a 2-part series tonight and tomorrow. The book was great so it has a lot to live up to. It's one of those "What if?" alternative histories - this one poses the question "what if Stalin had an illegitimate son who is still alive now?" - book is well worth reading if you get a chance. Bye for now!
